Ubuntu 11.10 HDMI not working for Audio and Video
 

ALL,

I have a HP 4285dx laptop with the ATI Radeon HD 6370.

I am trying to use the HDMI output to connect my new Linux box to a TV. I try to do a detect displays and it does not see the TV as a monitor.

This same laptop will have success with Windows 7 installed. Obviously there is something else I need to do.

I did notice that when shutting down the laptop I did indeed see the Ubuntu logoff screen on the TV.

Has anyone had luck using HDMI for Ubuntu 11.10 or other versions?

should be automatic

post xorg logs

Are you using the free radeon-drivers or the proprietary AMD drivers?

ALL,

I am just using the standard video drivers that came with Ubuntu. I installed the driver that came from ATI and I had problems with a black screen booting up and freezing.

I really feel that that is the problem. I will wait until the next driver version comes out.

Thank you.

I have a vaio F series with nvidia graphic card. Same problem. My TV does not detect the signal from my Ubuntu 11.10 machine.
Is there any problem with something like a "driver" of the HDMI output port?

I have a Radeon HD6450 installed in a Dell Dimension 9200. I use the HDMI port to connect to a Pioneer VSX-521 Mult-Channel receiver which HDMIs to a Toshiba TV. I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a dual boot with Windows 7 and cannot get it to boot beyond the flash screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Catalyst11.12 driver and cannot get it to work. Windows 7 works fine.
